Campsite are placed perfectly plenty of room between sites. Quiet and very safe. Showers are very clean and hot, potable water is available next to the dump station. A little dated in areas however that will be taken care of down the line 5 star should be ten, the host John is the nicest we have encountered. Hats off to John and his wife

This campground is so peaceful. Very small and cozy. John the host was so nice. Bathrooms were older, but clean. I appreciate they have a handicap shower for me to tell my friend in a wheelchair. She'll love it here. The road is rough with potholes, especially if you have low clearance. But the sites themselves are very private. I could barely see my neighbors. Lots of bear and alligator signs, b... This campground is so peaceful. Very small and cozy. John the host was so nice. Bathrooms were older, but clean.

But the sites themselves are very private. I could barely see my neighbors. Lots of bear and alligator signs, but only saw deer and cranes. The food locker was nice to have. I really enjoyed my stay here.
